"For I shall praise Him once more'' is Karen Swanepoel's captivating life story of unimaginable loss, pain, and anguish, however, it is also a story of abundant grace and blessing, hopeful expectation, and beauty for ashes.

She takes you along on her journey, from brokenness towards healing and acceptance, and shares the tools that encouraged and equipped her to follow this painful journey to the very end.

Throughout the storm God had been the source of her strength, her anchor, and her rock.

”She looked back and marveled how far she had come… She didn’t wonder how she made it… She already knew the answer. Only with God’s help has she powered through. For without his strength she could do nothing.”
